## Overview

The Group Action plugin handles messages of type `groupMember` in category `action`. These are system messages generated by the SDK when group membership changes occur. They render as centered, pill-shaped bubbles with no sender attribution.

***

## Bubble Rendering

* **Centered pill** — no left/right alignment, no avatar, no timestamp
* **Action text** — localized description of what happened (e.g., "Alice joined", "Bob was kicked by Admin")
* Uses the shared `getActionMessageText()` utility for localized text generation

### Supported Actions

| Action          | Example text                 |
| --------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Member joined   | "Alice joined"               |
| Member left     | "Bob left"                   |
| Member kicked   | "Admin kicked Bob"           |
| Member banned   | "Admin banned Charlie"       |
| Member unbanned | "Admin unbanned Charlie"     |
| Scope changed   | "Admin made Bob a moderator" |
| Member added    | "Admin added Dave"           |

***

## Context Menu Options

None — group action messages have no context menu.

***

## Conversation Preview

Returns the action text (truncated to 100 characters). Falls back to `Group action` if text generation fails.
